arXiv:2602.17510v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We introduce LoRA-CRAFT (\textbf{C}ross-layer \textbf{R}ank \textbf{A}daptation via \textbf{F}rozen \textbf{T}ucker), abbreviated CRAFT throughout, an extremely parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) method that applies Tucker tensor decomposition to pre-trained attention weight matrices stacked across transformer layers and trains only small square adaptation matrices on the resulting frozen Tucker factors. Existing tensor-based PEFT methods decompose \textit{gradient updates}: LoTR applies Tucker decomposition with shared factor matrices, while SuperLoRA groups and reshapes $\Delta W$ across layers before applying Tucker decomposition. Separately, methods such as PiSSA apply SVD to \textit{pre-trained weights} but operate independently per layer. CRAFT bridges these two lines of work: it performs full Tucker decomposition via Higher-Order SVD (HOSVD) directly on \textit{pre-trained weights} organized as cross-layer 3D tensors, freezes all resulting factors, and adapts the model through lightweight trainable transformations applied to each factor matrix. Experiments on the GLUE benchmark using RoBERTa-base and RoBERTa-large, as well as commonsense reasoning benchmarks using LLaMA2-7B and LLaMA3-8B, demonstrate that CRAFT achieves competitive performance with existing methods while requiring only \rev{\textbf{extremely low Tucker adaptation parameters}}. \fixw{On LLaMA3-8B, CRAFT} \rev{exceeds the average accuracy of LoRA} \textbf{using hundreds of times fewer parameters}\fixw{; on LLaMA2-7B the same holds at a …
